sistina this week switched the license for the GFS tools from the GPL to the SPL http://www.sistina.com/Sistina%20Public%20License%201.0.pdf I'm worried now that Sistina will switch the license for LVM. However, considering there was almost a fork of the project (mostly) because of something as "simple" as mailing list policy, i guess openLVM would pop up again pretty quickly in that case... Is it concievable that the kernel patches will stay GPL'ed but a more restrictive license applied to the userspace tools ? ==rob -- [ Rob Latham <rlatham@plogic.com> Developer, Admin, Alchemist ] [ Paralogic Inc. - www.plogic.com ] [ ] [ EAE8 DE90 85BB 526F 3181 1FCF 51C4 B6CB 08CC 0897 ]
